Perfectly Imperfect

Author’s note: I wrote this poem (warning: I’m not that great at poetry, I mostly write prose) around a year and a half ago after struggling spiritually with the idea of perfection. We are perfect because of the perfect Lamb. Nothing we will do could ever make us perfect, but it is by Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross that we are made perfect and righteous. I hope you enjoy!!

And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. — 2 Corinthians 12:9
